Though not a gour mand, he Is, nevertheless, a gourmet, and bs such prefers small, choice din ners to elalxirate banquets. In fact, there Is nothing that be abhors to such an extent as a dinner of many courses, and he declines to remain any longer at table than an hour. He Is waited on by hlg own servant, who stands be hind his chair, and who takes the dishes from the other servants. Hut It Is not true that he carries atoiit with him his own wines to private houses. This Is a precaution which, he only adopts In the case of public banquets. A I'revlons Kn(xninnt. "In the Choctaw India nation there Is no Jail In which convicted murderers are confined," said Kd L. Craighead, of Ardmore, Indian Territory, to a Washington reporter. "When I first went to the Indian Territory I settled In the Choctaw nation, and hearing that a certain Indian was an excellent hand on the ranch, I hunted him up and asked him if he would work for me. I will work until the 2ith of next month, he said. 'Why not longer?" I Inquired. 'I am to be hanged on the gist,' was his reply In an unconcerned way. I hired him, and upon Inquiry learned that what he said was true. But one man has ever failed to return for hanging after he hag been sentenc ed, and my Indian did not prove an ex ception to the rule. On the day before the execution was to take place he left as calmly as though going on a visit, and the hanging took place at the time appointed. Notwithstanding his ap proaching doom, the Indian made oue of the best ranchers I ever saw, and 1 regretted to lose him." Devoted to If er 1'eople. The Queen Regent of Spain, a ruler with whom this country now has In teresting relations, Is described by a Madrid corresiMndent as being very devoted to her people. A few days ago, while driving out with the Arch duke Eugene, she met a priest carrying the Vlatlcus to a dying person. She alighted with her brother, Invited the priest to take her seat, and followed the carriage o foot to the house where the moribund person was lying. Ilef majesty went up to the second floor, and found a young woman of aliout turee-and-twenty awaiting to receive the extreme unction. She spoke In a motherly way to the ioor girl, and made particular Inquiries as to her parents' condition. On her return to the palace she gave her private doctor Instructions to pay the ifltleiit several visits a day; and the necessary medi cines, and some choice food, besides In money, were sent to that sorrow stricken house. Two Hayings from Cork. A Cork town councillor Is credlU-d with having thus SKiken: "There can be no doubt or the virulence of this epidemic, for I know of people lying dead from It who never died before" The same gentleman tlius chivalrously defended a colleague: "I strongly pro test agaliMt this attack on my absent friend, for surely It Is not right to hang a man behind his back."

Witness Gildea Tilki WHOLE STORY MADE PUBLIC BY HIM. lbt Toort Mad It Duriiuf H'IMiin Fif teen M la a te A ft r dlilea Mde Mil fctrttvoieut. Washington, June 6. The senate comminittee on foreign relations yester. day afternoon removed the injunction of secrecy from the testimony in rela tiou to Cuban affair of Messrs. Freder ick W. Lawrence and Rev. A. J. Diax, Laurence, referring to the arrest of All vd La Borde and Milton, who were on the Competitor, fa id that eo far as the testimony of the men who captured them before the court martial. It showed that neither of the men had inns upon their persons. From an American point of view, these prisoners were not assisted by counsel, but from a Spanish point of view they had coun sel. This counsel consisted of a lieu tenant in the navy, who asked no ques tions ami who cros-eexamined wit nesses. No witnesses were prolueed, but Captain Butron and the other otlicers of the Mennajerra. The lieu tenant asked for clemency for La Horde on account of the illuHlnous place his name had borne in the Spanish navy and for Milton leeaue he wa not there lor the purpose of fighting, hut merely in his buninefB as a newspaper corre spondent. The men were even asked if they had anything t- say, in the Span ish language. William Gildea, the last of t e five men tried together, replied to the interpreter: "All I have got to say is that I do not understand oue word that has been iid for me or against me, and at any late I appeal to both the British and American consuls." TI.e court male its finding within fifteen minutes after Gildea made this statement. Before the trial, Gildea made a statement that he was a poor tailor and went on board the Com pel i to thinking she was bound for Sable Keys, fishing; that he knew noth ing of the nature of the buHinefg until after it started. La Horde claimed that he was hired to do fishing, but that he as held up by a revolver ai:d ordered to go to Cuba. Witness also saw Dygcrt, who was imprisoned at Guinea with twenty-two otheis in a room not larger than six teen by eighteen tret. The food given him was execrable ami all the time he was confined lie was not rmitted to change his clothes. I'ygert was not rcleaned until one month after Mar quis Paliperoia told l.awrenc.e that the government knew he whs innocent. tlcuAiiig- AlndaKrAr' London, June 6, In the house ol commons yesterday Sir Charles Dilke asked if her majesty's government and the government of the United States would give their assent to the view that the mere conversion ol the ihljod of Madagascar from a French protectorate into a French colony puts an end to commercial and other engagements be tween Great Britain and the United States and Madagascar. Right Hon. George N. Cursson, parlia mentary secretary to the foreign otlice, replied that Great Britain would give attentive consideration to the question. "We are not informed of the views of the government of the United Slates," be said, "since the annexation of Mada gascar by France.". Mr. Thomas G. Bowles, conservative, asked if the government would com municate with the goveruient of the United States in relation to the change in the status of Madagascar through the annexation of the island by Fran.e. Mr. Curzon replied : ''I think it not unlikely that we shall shortly be in pos lesslon of the views of the United States government upon this subject." Mr. Laboucfiere moved that the house adjourned in order to force the govern ment to expl.-.in their policy In the Soudan. The entire opposition, with the exception of those who were mem bers of the late Rose be rv cabinet, stood by and supported Mr. Labouchere and a spirited debate ensued. Mr. Labou chere's motion was defeated without a division being taken. Trawling Man Aojournml. Tkrrr lUt-TB, Ind., June 6.

The rivr and baibur appropr ation bill was past-ad over the president's veto yesterday by the unexpectedly heavy vote of 2-0 yen to 60 nays. There were comparatively so few votes in the negative that it was found impossible to repair absent mem bers in favor of the bill. The republi cans, with practical unanimity, and thirty-nine democrats, w'th one popu list, made up the affirmative vote, while the negative vote was about equally divided between the republicans and democrats, five populists voting with them. The report of the committee on liver and harbors recommending the passage of the river and harbor appropriation, "the objections of the president to the contrary notwithstanding," was pre sented by Mr. Hooker (rep., N. Y.), chairman, and recited that nearly all items are for projects contained in bills heretofo'9 made laws and for years in procecs of contruction, no new projects being added to the hill of 1834; that in itead of nearly $17,OoO,(KX) only a little over $I2,0(X),000 is to be expended dur ing the next two years, and that in other calculations also the president has exceeded the expenditures proposed; that the projects embraced in the bill of 18'.) and now incomplete were then ap proved by General Casey, and have gone unchallenged until now; that Pres ident Harrison approved the bills ol 1890 arid 1892, and that President Cleve land failed to veto the bill of 1894, and that the present bill is holly in the interests of commerce.

Mr. Strowd of North Carolina wa the nnlv populist who voted for th bill. After hearing the report of Chairman Hooker, reciting the arguments is favor of passing the bill over the veto, the house by an overwhelming veto re fused to listen to any debate, despiU the vigorous protest of Mr. Dockerj (dem., Mo.) who denounced the cours taken as "unjust, unfair and unmanly." 1 he remainder of the session mainly was taken up with the argument on the contested election case of Mitchell vs. Walsh from the Eighth New York district, and voting upon it. A resolution was agreed to fixing tin hour of meeting for the remainder oj the session at 11 a. m. Mr. Cannon (rep.. 111.) chairman of the committer on appropriations, expressed the opin ion that congress would not adjourn finally ldore Friday or Saturday ol next week.

Ah indicated i in these dispatches Tuesday night, the work of raii-ing and distributing relief J lor the tornado sufferers ji floundering In municipal politics, llone.-t differ ences of opinion upon the advisability )f and legality of appropriating city lunds for relief have gro'vn into polit ical warfare. Mayor Walbridgc, a poa ilble candidate for governor, ha9 r-so-'utely refused to appeal to the outside world for aid. Tuesday night he was hanged in effigy in Ninth St. Louis, and i large put lie meeting held there de mands that he withdraw from his posi tion, of independence. It is unquestion ably true that the fiiendri and opK- nenta of the mayor's political hopes are found opposing each other in the mat ter of s diciling relief. The measure to appropriate $100,000 of city funds for relief also met strong opjiosition on the plea that it was il legal. The bill was re-Hubmitted yes terda with a proviso making it legal. The house of delegates, the lower branch of the municipal assembly, met in spe cial session yesterday afternoon to con sider the amended appropriation bill. The proceedings at times approached a general rough and tumble light among the members. Toe house was in spe cial session for the purpose of pausing an amended relief bill of $100,010 for the sufferers from last Wednesday's tornado. The city charter requires a two-thirdB vote by which the bill passed Tuesday was one Bhort of the required number. When the session was called to order it lacked several member of a quorum and the sergeant-at-anns was oidered to secure the attendance of delinquent delegates. Before this was aciom plished a number of political discon tents adopted filibustering tactics and demanded that the meniberB present vote in the bill. I'.y this means it w at thought to defeat the bill. The motion to vote was carried, and a count showed that the bill had b en adopted. Speaker Kelley refused to an nounce the vote until seven filibuster ing members could lie corraled and made to vote. Delegates Judith, Wat son, Wilcox and Lloyd had voted against the bill. They became vioierit and threatened to leave unless tiie vote was announced. Speaker Kelly ap pointed Delegate Scherf special Her-geant-at-arms. Delegate Lloyd tried to crawl over the railing and escape, and Scherf threw him back into the in cloeure. A fight was narrowly averted and both Lloyd and Wilcox denounced Kelly, who ordered them to eit down and continued to refuse to announce the vote. Delegate Wilcox tried to leave and he was thrown back into hie chair. The opposition members clustered in one corner and a free-for-all fight wae imminent. The sergeant-at-arnis final ly corraled the mii-sing members and the bill was passed by a vote of 19 to 3 The bill now goes to the upper house and will be immediately passed. ANOTHK.K HOIIY fOL'NI). The body of another man was found floating in the river last night. l n believed the man was the victim of last week's tornado. This is the only addi tion to tt death list in the past twenty-four hours. The following summary of fatalities in St. Louis was made up yesterday moruing. Burial permits issued to date, 127 ; killed, bodies not yet recovered, 13; wounded in hospitals, 90; missing peopU, 80; total, 310. The relief fund at 10 o'clock yesteniay morn ing had been increased to f 1 40.0ti0. So far nearly 800 fatuities have been provided with provisions, clothing and furniture. A fair estimate places the number of individuals assisted at 4,000. Nearly every public school is re-opened, and the damaged churches are being re paired as fast as laborers can be se cured. The roadway across the Eads bridge was opened for traffic yesterday morning. The revised list or tornado victims in East St. Louis shows the following fig ures: Identified dead, 99; unidentified dead, 2; missing, 26; fatally injured, 7; total, 134. The work of relieving the sufferers still continues and all imme diate wants are being supplied. The re lief fund this morning aggregates $44,000. Warfare InHUUurnteil. Terrk Haitk, Ind., June 4.

The national convention in se cret session adopted a resolution looking to an organized effort to secure legisla tion in the several status fixing the fart lor all passengers at 2 cents a mile. The officers of the convention declined tc give the resolution to the press, or, in fact, to tell anything that was said ol done behind closed doors, but it it known that the action was definite in the direction plated. Wars and Mrana omnilnee. Washington, June 4. The waye and means committee met yesterday Without transacting any business. The senate anti-bond bill reached the com mittee just as it was about to adjourn. Mr. Wheeler (dem. Ala ) moved that the bill he reported favorably to the house. He did not desire hin motion to be voted upon, but wished to have it pending no that ft vote could be taken on it at to day' I matting. km a Kuuawaa Kkwkjkt, i. H., Juas . Austin Corbin, the New York capitalist and railroad magnate, and his nephew, Cor bin Edgell, with Dr. Paul Kunzier and coachman, John Stokes, sUrted on a n?hii g trip about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. On going out of the yard at the farm house, the horses shied, tipping over the open car.iage, throwing the occupants down an embinkment about eight feet against the stone wall. The familv saw the accident from the. piazza and hurried to at-sist with the farm help. They found Mr. Corbin conscious, but terribly wounded. His nephew and the doctor were also con scious. The coachman was unconscious ud apparently hurt the worst of all. They were carried to the house and doc tors summoned, Mr. Corbiu's injuries were very serious, a compound fra. tore of the right leg above t lie knee, a lear ful scalp wound over four inche- lorgon th-- forehe.oj, cut through to the tkull, one on the right side of the head three inches long and the hip and chin cut badly. Ir. Kunzier was thiowu over the wall and tms'ained a broken aim. and sprained ankle, so far as known, and Corbin Edgell has hie leg twice broken between the knee and ankle, fohn Stokes' right leg was broken leteen tlis knee und ankle and he sustained a fractured skull. Stokes died from bis injuries about 6 o'clock without regain ing consciousness. The cause of the h irses shying ig said to be from the fact that the coachman was driving them for the first time v ith blinders. Mr. Corbin died at 9 :42 last evening, shortly after the arrival of Dr. Cilley from Boston. Ilia ton, Austin Corbin jr., arrived on a special train fri.rn Bos ton about 11 o'clock, but too late to see his father alive. All the other mem bers of the family, with the exception of his son-in-law, Mr. (ieorge S. Edgell, who is in the wet, were present when he breathed his last. M IIAt Mr.ve. RocKKimii, 111., June 5. Judge Shaw has handed down a decision in the noted cane of Jlastiau i.nd others against the Modern Woodmen of America, tried at the last term, and A'hich in volves tiie question as to w hether the head otlicers of toe order, which has thousands of memliers should be re moved from Fulton to Rock Island, 111. An injunction restraining removal was granted after the head camp meet ing. at Omaha several years dgo, and has since been in force. Judge Shaw holds the change desir able, because of the necessity of new officers and a fireproof home for the archives of the increasing membership The result was a decretal order, finding the equities for the defendants and dismissing the bill, which means that the head offices will go to Rock Island. The injunction was continued in force however, pending an appeal to the appellate court, providing the complain ants file an additional bond within ten days. All Madrid Kxoited. Madrid, June 5. The attempted duel between Generals Martinez Campos and Borrero, which was prevented by the timely interference of the captain general of Madrid, is the sensation of the hour. The Imparcial publishes the text of the letter written to General Martinet Campos by General Borrero, which brought the quarrel between the two generals to a crisis and provoked Gen eral Martinez Campos to challenge the writer. The letter concludes as follows: "For many years you have been my enemy. My patience is ended and 1 am now ready to do to you what the rebels in Cuba could not do." The ministers are endeavoring to in duce General Borreio to withdraw the letter, and if he refuses to do so, he will be court martialed. Muturuiau Fntallf Injured .Nulwai'kxk, Wis., June 5. Late last night a car on the Howard street ex tension was fired into by unknown per sons and Motorman John Breen was l-t'aly and Conductor Schwartz seri ously injured. About thirty shots were fired from behind a clump of bushes about six blocks from the city limits. The car was riddled with bullets, but fortunately there were no passengers on board. Breen was shot iu the back, he ball penetrating his kidneys and b'adder. The conductor was shot in the right leg above the right knee. Both men were taken to the emergency h spital, where it is said Breen will die. The shooting is undoubtedly the out come of the recent strike. Killed llern. ir. St. Louis, June 5. Mary Connelly, a young woman whose home was de stroyed by the tornado, became de spondent and threw herself in front of a Cass avenue car Wednesday night. She died at the city hospital yesterday.

Ideath list lengthens More Lives Lost at St. Louis Than Eu Been Thought. THE RIVER GIVES UP ITS DEAD. roar Hundred and Ninety Dead aad Ml.aing Belief Ul SluO.OOO. St Louis, June 1. The systematic work of the relief committees and those in charge of the work of clearing up the wrecks of buildings destroyed in last Wednesday's great storm have at last enabled the public to be fairly ao turately apprised of the fatalities wrought by the cyclone. But one place' rvmains to be beard from and this in fact may never reveal the truth the Mississippi river. The river gives up Its dead slowly, and the statisticians at work on the list of fatalities have not yet r-ached an estimate of tiie num ber loBt in the great waterway. They know certainly that five were loet on the steamer J. J. Odell, and they know that others whose identity remains a mystery were positively seen to die snpear during the tornado The river captains and patrolmen along the levee eay tha a conservative estimate of the number of roustabouts, shanty dwellers Biid flat boat residents who lost their lives in the storm is less than twenty. The total list of the fatalities and missing as compiled last evening num bers 490, just ten lees than the figure given in the United press dispatches the night of the storm. Tbe known dead in St. Louis are 196; unknown dead in St. Louis, 8 ; fatally injured in St. Louis. 18; missing in St. Louis, 118; known dead in East St. Louis, 145; unknown dead in East St. Louis, 3; fatally injured in East St. Louis, 2. Total fatality, 490. , That a great many corpses are in the ruins neems to be pointed out by tbe fact that the police have a long list oi misBing. Some of them may turn up, of course, but it is safe to aseume that the majority of them are dead. At the city hospital the debris is being re moved by a force of prisoners from the workhouse, but no corpses have been found. Dr. Sutter still claims there were but three deaths in all at that in stitution and has no reason to suppose that any more will be found. The local relief fund is now beyond $100,000. The astual work of relieving the distress has been begun. Canvass ers repiejenting the relief committee were busy all day Sunday investigating the condition of applicants for aid. As rapidly as it could be ascertained what was needed by persons who had suffered from the Btorm, steps were taken to re lieve them. In some instances food a id shel:tr were provided, while in others clothing was given out, HELEN GOULD CONTRIBUTES. Vice President Warner of the Mis souri Pacific received the following tele gram yesterday: New York, June 1. Mr. C. G. War ner, Vice President Missouri Pacific Railway Company, St. Louis: Am sending $1,000 as a subscription to fund for relief of St. Louis sufferers from cyclone. The city has our warmest sympathy. Hclem M. Gould. The telegraph companies have re paired the damages done their lines by Wednesday's tornado and are again handling the business of the publio without delay. The Bell Telephone company sustained greater damage and the repairs cannot be made so quickly. Yesterday there were 2,000 instruments in working order and 2,500 were still silent. It will be at leaat a week before all repairs can be made. The continuous rains are a great drawback to the vigorous efforts that are being made to start the street lights. After working night and day all the street car systems in the city except one are running on schedule time. The situation in East St. Louis is discouraging. Along the river mist, fog and malaria are following in the wake ol the storm, and soggy and nod den the piles ol splintered houses and box cars are thetr miserable abiding nlaces. Foul odors rise from the de caying carcasses of dead animals. It is still too soou for any thought ol re building the homes of the island poor. The devastation was so terrible and complete that thin cannot come for some time, but the business interests which have capital behind them are on their feet and working with all their might, This Is manifest and somewhat relieves an otherwise forlorn aspect ol the situ ation. The Vandalia people are rebuild ing their freight house and gratifying progress is being made. The Kast St. Louis cold storage plant, which was I damaged to the extent of $50,000 has i 100 men working on it. The relay depot is also being put into some sort ot shape. The carpenters of the city are work ing at a slight advance of the ordinary schedule. There is a great demand for bricklayers, some ot whom are beinj paid for their work at the rate oi 75 cents an hour. The two militia companies are still in the city and kept busy doing polios work. Without their assistance the police here would be unable to cope with the thieves and hobos. Mayor Bader, chairman of the relief committee, reports generous returns to their appeal lor aid. The distribution of food, clothing and medicines is appor tioned to the various volunteer societies and a great deal of distress has been re lieved. IM In inter Pretemad. Washington, June 1.
